Title: Collapse Vulnerability and Seismic Design of Metal Buildings (NEES-2010-0986)

Year Of Curation: 2012

Description: Metal Building Systems make up a large portion of new low-rise, non-residential construction today. These systems are designed to be extremely efficient and as such exhibit very different behavior than other steel building systems.
